"Skating Through It" is both engaging and heartfelt. At first it seems to be a sports documentary. Soon, though, you realize you are watching a study of emotional reliance and survival. To some, adult competitive figure skating might seem pretty esoteric. Yet these people literally skate to live. And their family, friends and loved ones wouldn't have it any other way.
Part of what surprised me was the ability of the three individuals profiled to integrate all the rigors of competitive sports with vibrant professional and personal lives. They are not simply skaters, but have lives filled with both work and personal obligations. I don't know how they do it! The perfect documentary for anyone looking for inspiration.
